1. Your Privacy is Safe
At URMS Publishing, we respect your privacy. We keep things simple: we do not sell your data. We only use information to provide you with great books and better services.
This policy applies to website visitors, newsletter subscribers, bonus and freebie requests, and lead form submissions, including Lead Forms and Instant Forms submitted through platforms such as Facebook and TikTok, etc.
2. What We Collect
We only collect the basics needed to help you:
- Contact Info: Your name and email if you subscribe to our newsletter, request free gifts, sign up for bonuses, or submit a lead form or Instant Form (so we can send you what you requested and follow up with you if appropriate).
- Website Activity: Basic info on which pages you visit, so we know what content is popular.
3. Link Stats (link.urmspublishing.com)
When you click on one of our official link.urmspublishing.com links, we collect some standard technical data automatically:
- Your IP Address: Helps us stop bots and spam.
- Device Info: Helps us show you the mobile or desktop version of a page.
- Clicks: Helps us know if a book or post is popular.
Note: We use this information for security and analytics. If we run ads, we may also use advertising tools to measure performance and retarget people who previously visited our site, in accordance with those platforms’ privacy policies.
4. How We Use It
We use this information to:
- Send you newsletters (only if you asked for them!).
- Improve our website by seeing what works and what doesn't.
- Protect our site from hackers and bots.
5. Cookies, Analytics & Tracking
Like most websites, ours may use cookies and similar tools to help the site work properly and to understand how visitors use it. This may include:
- Cookies: Small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience.
- Analytics tools: We may use tools like Google Analytics or similar services to see how pages are performing.
- Link tracking: Our link.urmspublishing.com system tracks clicks, device type, and IP for security and performance — as described in Section 3.
- Ad pixels: If we run ads, we may use advertising and analytics technologies provided by platforms such as TikTok or Meta to measure campaign performance and improve our marketing. Those platforms may collect information according to their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review directly.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, though some site features may not work as expected.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your data. Period. However, to operate our business, we work with a small number of trusted service providers who may process your information on our behalf:
- Email/newsletter platform: To send you newsletters and bonuses you signed up for.
- Website hosting: Our site is hosted on a third-party platform that stores site data securely.
- Analytics providers: Tools that help us understand site traffic.
- Ad platforms: If you interact with one of our ads (for example on TikTok), that platform processes your data under their own privacy policy.
We only share the information these providers need to provide their services, and they handle that information under their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
7. Your Rights & Choices
You are in control of your data. You may have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction — Ask us to correct any inaccurate information.

8. Data Retention
We only keep your information for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected:
- Newsletter and subscriber data are kept for as long as you remain subscribed.
- If you unsubscribe, we remove your active contact but may retain a suppression record to make sure we do not accidentally re-add you.
- Link tracking data is kept for a reasonable period for security and analytics purposes.
When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
9. Children's Privacy
Our website and marketing materials are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us at hello@urmspublishing.com and we will delete it promptly.
